What kind of chocolate is good for smores? ›

However, there are a few types of chocolate that are popular choices for s'mores: Milk chocolate is a classic choice for s'mores. It has a sweet and creamy flavor that complements marshmallows and graham crackers. Dark chocolate is a must for those who prefer a richer and less sweet flavor.

What should I use for s'mores besides graham crackers? Some people like other types of plain cookies like oatmeal, or chocolate chip or try crispy granola bars! You could use a marshmallow rice crispy treat, major sweetness but fun!

Once my marshmallow is ready, I carefully sandwich the marshmallow between the graham crackers and let the residual heat slowly melt the chocolate—just enough so there's still a little bite to it.” Here's where dark chocolate has an advantage over milk chocolate in preventing a melty mess, she notes.

S'mores are usually made by the campfire. Marshmallows are roasted over the fire until they're gooey. Then graham crackers with pieces of a chocolate candy bar are used to sandwich the gooey roasted marshmallow. Many kids mash the combination together so that the heat from the marshmallow will melt the chocolate.

Although they taste the same as traditional graham crackers and can be used in all the same recipes, the ingredient list for Honey Maid Wafers doesn't contain any graham flour.

Go with speculoos or crisp ginger snaps for a spicy kick that works well with cheesecake or cream pies, vanilla wafers or animal crackers if you want something more subtle, or chocolate wafers or even Oreo cookies for something dark and chocolate-y.

These cinnamon-spiced graham crackers from Honey Maid aren't a huge departure from the original, but they taste different enough to make a more interesting s'more, especially if cinnamon is your thing.

This recipe tells you that in order to make one s'more, you need two graham crackers, one marshmallow and one square of chocolate.

Do you add milk or butter to melted chocolate? ›

Adding butter or oil increases the fat content of the melted chocolate, making it smoother and easier to work with. Perfectly melted chocolate will be smooth, silky, and have a shiny finish, says KitchenSeer. If your chocolate is too thick or clumpy, you may be able to save it with some room temperature butter.

S'more is a contraction of the phrase "some more". A s'more recipe appeared in a Campfire Marshmallows cookbook in the early 1920s, where it was called a "Graham Cracker Sandwich". The text indicates that the treat was already popular with both Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts.

Deliciously gooey marshmallow swirled through rich chocolate Breyers® and real, crunchy almonds. Breyers® Rocky Road is the fastest road to fun!

Traditional s'mores are a fun American treat of melting marshmallow, biscuit and chocolate stacked together.

Almost any candy bar can work it's way into a s'more! Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are a great option, I love Ghirardelli Squares with a variety of fillings, Butterfinger cups, dark chocolate and white chocolate. Snack size Snickers, Milky Ways, Kit Kats and other candy bars also work perfectly.

What is the best chocolate for tempering? We would recommend using high quality bars of chocolate or couverture chocolate. The latter melts quicker due to a higher cocoa mass, and is normally available as large buttons. If using bars, finely chop the chocolate with a serrated knife as this will melt more evenly.

Homemade hot chocolate recipes contain very few ingredients, and the largest ingredient is chocolate, so be picky. Use dark or bittersweet chocolate. Milk chocolate will be too sweet, at least for most European tastebuds.

what is bark? Bark is simply melted chocolate that's poured into a sheet pan and broken into pieces once it's set. You can use literally any kind of chocolate – chocolate chips, melting wafers, fancy “feves” – and it will always come out great (see: cobweb bark, red white and blue bark, and almond butter bark!).
